This was years ago, but I used to read rec.martial-arts I believe. It was so filled with unmoderated flames and spams that folks who are genuine from there decided to spin off a new one called alt.zen+budo? I think. FWIW, I hope you find this helpful. Please let me know if you find anything good.

I spend a lot of time on www.submissionfighting.com. It's primarily a No Holds Barred fighting forum. It's not really geared to the traditional stand-up martial arts styles. Although I have my black belt in Japanese Shotokan karate, I value the discussions on the grappling aspects of combat.
